  • "I have been working with Nick for 2 full seasons and the progress since then has been astonishing, I would not be the rider I am today without everything he’s done for me. I’ve always noticed that he has a slightly different coaching approach, with prioritizing yoga, meditation/breathing exercises, which I feel have helped a lot. He has provided great workouts for the bike and gym. I love that he really talks about process over outcome and just focusing on doing my absolute best. I’ve accomplished a lot of goals and started as a mountain biker to getting on one of the best junior road teams in the country. I’ve worked with him for 2 seasons and none of it would be possible without a good coach. If you are looking to take your cycling and mindset to the next level, I would highly recommend Nick."

    Alex S. (EF Development)

  • "Nick is an exceptional coach. He helps me work around my busy life as a college student while also helping me think long term. Since I have started working with him, I have been able to set strong foundations to meet my goals while also having fun."

    - Ethan C. (U23 MTB)

  • “Only after a couple of weeks training with Nick, I quickly realized that I found the ideal coach. He has the ability to focus on the finer details of my training while also recognizing the bigger picture of my goals. I’m working harder than I ever have, but I’m also learning to rest properly, and the results have been very encouraging. With this combination, I now step to the line of a race with a confidence that I’ve never had before.”

    - Ashley C. (Ultra Endurance Gravel/ Pro MTB)

  • ”Nick is refreshingly easy to work with. His focus on my progress pushed me to dramatically improve my overall fitness and riding abilities.  As a relatively new mountain biker (46, Average Joe, 4 years of riding local trails) with no prior instruction or training, Nick put me on a personalized training plan that prepared me for a successful season of endurance MTB races.  Truly Grateful to have Nick Gould as my coach. Thank you for helping me achieve my goal!”

    - Brady Jones

  • “Nick has so much knowledge on training, racing, and the physiology of our bodies for both of these things! He does a great job at customizing schedules to fit a busy lifestyle and holds you accountable for doing the work. The first time I raced 50 miles (without Nick’s coaching), I was miserable. I walked most of the hills because my legs were shot, and tried to quit several times. After 6 months of training with Nick, I rode another 50 mile race and was actually singing and complimenting myself as I rode! It was a totally different experience…I was comfortable and felt like I knew what I was doing and how my body would perform (and no walking or quitting!). I highly recommend Nick as a coach!”

    - Nikki Aisenbrey (Cat 1 MTB Racer)

  • “As a dad to 2 young children and a full time job, having limited time to train is an understatement. Nick understands these constraints and has been able to take my results from middle of the pack AG to multiple podium finishes. Most impressive is his ability to adjust my training with my busy schedule while keeping my fitness sharp. I look forward to another year of working with coach Nick.”

    - Miles V (40+ MTB, Road, CX)

  • “I have been a long time cyclist and was training on my own to do the Leadville 100 as a goal turning 50. My son, nephew and brothers signed up to do Leadville with me. I broke my collarbone and 5 ribs less than 3 months from the event. I thought my plans broke with my accident. After surgery my son referred me to Nick. My experience with Nick has been amazing. Not only did I get well and fit enough to do Leadville in sub 9 hours, I have continued in my training with Nick and have my eyes set on sub 8 for next year. I could not have achieved this without Nick’s support and guidance. Thank you Nick”.
